WE ALL know how expensive Christmas is, especially if you have kids.
But one mum of five, who has started her Christmas present shop has already spent over £1,000 on two of her kids for the festive season.
Taking to TikTok, Siân, from the UK, shared her whooping haul for toys for her two children, Lenux and Braxton.
In the video, she said: “It’s here guys, you’ve been waiting for the Christmas haul.”
She added: “I’m not going to lie, I don’t think I’m done, well I’m definitely not done.”
Siân then went into Smyths where she began filling her two trolleys with an array of Barbie toys for Lenux.

She added that she already had all the bigger Barbie presents so decided to get her lots of little sets this year as well as a bunch of Sylvanian Family sets.
The mum continued: “I used to do the kids like one big present and loads of little presents but then, they’ve got everything.
“They’ve got iPads, they’ve got a phone they’ve got TVs so there isn’t actually anything as a big main present.”
For Braxton, Siân grabbed some remote control car toys as well as some Lego and ‘anything dinosaur.’

When Siân finally got home with two trolleys full of toys, she covered the entire floor with them before putting them in black bags.
The video has since gone viral with over 500k views, and viewers were quick to ask just how much she spent on the two kids.
One asked: “I need to know how much it cost altogether!”
Siân replied: “Okay as you’ve asked; £1255.56 (there was some stuff for Taiya which I can’t show totalling £180ish).”
Another person questioned: “How do you plan for Christmas? We’ve always gone by the 4 present (something they want, need, wear & read) plus stockings. As we end up with so much!”
She responded: “I’m rubbish at planning anything, I do put £ aside through the year and then skint myself also lol. I’m not loaded, just a normal family.”
Others were blown away by how many toys she picked up, one wrote: “As a mother, I love nothing more than seeing other mums spoil and make their kids happy. I LOVEEEEEE this video.”
